FAQs
What material is the Flabelus Mary Jane shoe made from?
The upper is made from 100% cotton velvet, the lining is 100% organic cotton with anti-bacterial treatment, and the sole is crafted from rubber produced from recycled bicycle tires.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This particular guide focuses on the navy blue velvet variant. Other colour options may be available separately.
Is the sizing true to size?
No, it is strongly recommended to size up in this style as they tend to run small.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the combination of stylish design and comfortable, anti-bacterial lining makes them suitable for both smart and casual everyday wear.
How should I clean the velvet upper?
Gently brush with a soft brush to maintain the nap. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and blot carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
What is special about the sole?
The sole is made from durable rubber derived from recycled bicycle tires, offering a unique, eco-friendly construction.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, velvet is not ideal for wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
As recommended, try sizing up. If you have already purchased and find them too small, consider if a larger size is available or if the velvet will stretch slightly with wear, though this is not guaranteed.
Velvet material looks matted or has scuff marks
Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush to restore the nap. For scuff marks, try a specialized velvet cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, working carefully to avoid damaging the fabric.
Discomfort from the sole
The sole is made from recycled bicycle tires and may have a distinct feel. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as an ill-fitting shoe can cause discomfort regardless of the sole material.
